– Content type. Defines what UI of editor is. Basic page, event page, video, blog.
– Taxonomy.
– Views.
– Calendaring. Better then most standard web apps.
– web forms!
– Can use LDAP
– Extensible. CMS and app framework.

WordPress
– Has caught up with feature rich CMS.
– Admin UI is clean
– Clean URLs
– Scheduled publication
– Feeds for everything
– Auto upgrade
– Fasted dev cycle of any CMS.
– Distraction free editing mode

Reason
– Carefully designed.
– Nothing extra to download
– Page hierarchy
– Reason is just right ;)
